In my Dad's book, he briefly mentions the time that I asked him for my own office...at age eight. Apparently after a little negotiation, I told him that the bonnet top secretary "would be just fine." And so, at a very early age, my love affair with office spaces began. I'm a big believer in that quote "if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life." And if you love where you work, well, even better, right?
Islands - In A Dream It Seemed Real
I don't know if you guys know this, but I like getting up really early (we're talking around 5 or 6am) to begin work for the day or to go to the gym. I love the feeling I get when I know that I've already accomplished a lot for the day, and it's just shy of 10 am. I also find it easier to work when I am convinced that the rest of the world is still sleeping. No distractions that way, you know?
This morning, however, I had a nice little lie in. I read magazines which is something that I rarely do, indulged in the last of the birthday truffles (a gift from Sherin), as well as a matcha green tea latte from Mitchell's. Add a playlist of favorite tunes and it really is the recipe to the perfect lazy Friday morning, don't you think?
I'm looking forward to getting dressed up later on tonight. I rediscovered this gold Elie Tahari dress from the depths of my closet and just can't wait to wear it again. It was a gift from my mom a couple of years ago when I was visiting home. She really does have great taste, doesn't she?
Nothing beats a bright pop of color on a rainy day. I really like the pinwheel pushpins from Anthropologie. Don't they remind you of cocktail umbrellas? I love this Butterfly by Matthew Williamson lime green pompom bedspread as well, which would certainly perk up my all-white bedding. (I am pretty sure it's on sale right now too, by the way.) Also pictured: measuring cups (Anthropologie), turquoise latte bowls (Anthropologie), Leaf print pillows (I couldn't find this exact one, but West Elm has some great Clinton Friedman ones), DL & Co notecard set (DL & Co), Missoni umbrella (Liberty), striped mug (Our Shop).
Hope that everyone is having a great week. Can't believe that it's almost Friday already!
